Humboldt Broncos

The Humboldt Broncos emerged from the weekend taking five out of possible six points following a three game in three-day stretch that included a home and home set with the Kindersley Klippers and a Sunday matinee contest in Yorkton.  

Friday result: Kindersley 3 Humboldt 2 F/OT  

A blustery and rainy Saturday wasn’t a deterrent to the group sinking shovels into the soggy soil at the Memorial Site for the Humboldt Broncos bus tragedy.  

Members of the 2017 – 2018 Humboldt Broncos Memorial Committee and Broncos family members gathered on Saturday morning, October 5, for a ceremonial sod turning to mark to official beginning of the construction phase at the site.  

After a weeklong break the Humboldt Broncos will be back on the ice tonight in Kindersley against the Klippers.   

Last Friday, the Broncos suffered their first loss of the season with a 6-2 loss to the Yorkton Terriers.  

Head Coach Brayden Klimosko said it was good for the team to have extended time at practice before returning to action. 

It's another sign summer is ending as the Elgar Petersen Arena (EPA) will be busy this weekend with the Humboldt Broncos training camp. 

The Broncos will hit the ice on Friday, with a pair of practices, first at 2:00 pm, then at 3:15 pm, with the goalies workout at 4:30 pm. Day one will finish with a scrimmage at 8:30 pm.  

On Saturday, the first practice is at 11:00 am, then at 12:30 pm, and a scrimmage at 6:00 pm. 

A new season is just around the corner for the Humboldt Broncos, with training camp a week away. 

The team has announced their schedule for camp. 

On Friday, August 30, there will be a pair of team practices. Team 1 starts at 2:00 with Team 2 on the ice at 3:15.   

The goalies will have their turn at 4:30.  

On the eve of training camp, the Humboldt Broncos have made a move. Today they sent the CJHL rights forward Tim Kim to the Drayton Valley Thunder of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL)

In return, the Broncos will receive a player development fee along with future considerations.

Kim last suited up with the Broncos during the 2022-23 season when he registered 45 points (13G-32A) in 48 games.

Last year, the 20-year-old spent time in the BCHL with Merrit along with stints in the United States in the NCDC (Idaho Falls & Provo) and the NAHL (Anchorage).

When he was growing up in Humboldt, there was a good chance you would have found Jacob Leicht at the outdoor rink near St. Dominic School playing hockey with his friends during the winter. 

Soon, everyone in the city will get to experience the same passion that Jacob enjoyed with a brand-new facility. 

A former member of the Humboldt Broncos is getting a look from a National Hockey League (NHL) team this week.  

Matthew Perkins received an invitation to participate in the Vancouver Canucks which began on Monday and will conclude on Thursday. 

Last season, Perkins spent his first season with the University of Minnesota-Duluth, the 20-year-old had 15 points (6G-9A) in 35 games.  

The 2024 SJHL Draft was a part of a busy day for the Humboldt Broncos on Tuesday. Along with their draft picks, the Broncos made a couple trades.  

Following the selection of defenceman Tatum Fouquette during the first round, Humboldt acquired his brother, Tre Fouquette from the Nipawin Hawks. In return, the Broncos sent the 22nd pick in both the 2008 and 2009 portions of the 2024 draft, a 2025 1st round selections in both the 2009 and 2010 sections of the draft to Nipawin. 

The Humboldt Broncos along with the other 11 teams in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey (SJHL) began restocking the prospect pool with the 2024 SJHL Draft on Tuesday. 

With the 10th overall selection in the 2009 born player portion of the draft, the Broncos selected Prince Albert Defenceman Tatum Fouquette.  

Last season with the U15 AA Prince Albert Pirates, Fouquette had 42 points (28G-14A) in 27 games.
